    Hi, @Justinski , from your questions I'm guessing that your team may be lacking in mechatronic knowledge. What you are finding challenging to do, is common knowledge for the building of any motion simulator. Recommend you employ a suitably trained/experience person to fill this void.

    Hello everyone. I am not new but never posted anything. I bought a Simxperience kit long ago, then moved to Lince software and now I want to try simmtools, specially for the arcade games such as Flat Out and the like...
    This is a great community and I am still learning how everything works.
    See you around.

    Bonjour à tous, content d'entrer dans ce forum, que je lis avec attention depuis de nombreux mois.

    Je m'appelle Eric, j'habite tout en bas de la France.
    Passioné d'hélicoptères réels, Radio Commandés et par la simulation aérienne "Flight Simulator", mais aussi amateur de DIRT rally.
    J'envisage de monter un Simulateur 3DOF Vertical, puisque sous FSX je ne pilote que des hélicoptères.
    Pour l'instant, j'en suis juste à tester Simtools avec une Arduino Uno R3 qui pilote une petite plateforme miniature avec 3 servos, depuis Live For Speed !.... bon,... on va dire que ça bouge, c'est un début!
    J'ai hâte de pouvoir tester avec d'autres plugins et de pouvoir passer à la réalisation du simulateur.
    A bientôt


    Hello everyone, happy to enter into this forum, I read carefully for a long time.

    My name is Eric, I live at the bottom of France.
    Passionate real helicopters, Radio Controlled, Air simulation and "Flight Simulator", but also amateur DIRT rally.

    I plan to mount a Vertical 3DOF Simulator.
    For now, I'm just testing Simtools with an Arduino Uno R3 which controls a small platform with three miniature servos, with Live For Speed! .... Good ... we will say that it moves, is a start!
    I can not wait to test with other plugins and can move to the realization of the simulator.

    Excuse me for my English, Google translate does its best !

    See you soon

    Здравствуйте
    Мое место жительства Тамбовской Российской Федерации. Регистрация на сайте, чтобы узнать все о строительстве перегрузки тренажера (SIM), от знающих людей. Я создам свой * 3DOF, как, например, в картинах.
    План работы:
    1. Собрать для тестов на основе 2dof таблице Arduino.
    2. Получить позицию телеметрии ралли игра Dirt.
    3. Собрать 2dof прототипа (как на фото 2), собирать данные, которые я, необходимое для 3DOF проекта.
    4. Запустите 3DOF проекта.
    * Не уверен, что я буду подходить 3 степенями свободы, и не сразу планировать 4.
    Спасибо всем . Надеюсь на вашу поддержку.

    Hello
    My place of residence of the Russian Federation, Tambov. Registration on the site to find out all about the construction of the simulator overload (SIM), from knowledgeable people. I will build your * 3DOF, such as in the pictures.
    The work plan:
    1. Collect for tests based on 2dof Arduino table.
    2. Get the position telemetry rally game Dirt.
    3. Collect 2dof prototype (as in the photo 2), collect the data I needed to 3DOF project.
    4. Start 3DOF project.
    * I'm not sure that I would approach 3 degrees of freedom, and not just to plan 4.
    Thank you all. I hope for your support.

    Hello All,
    Justin here from Melbourne, Australia.

    I am so very fully on the VR hype train, my Rift is on the way in the first delivery batch.
    Im over forty and its been a while since Ive been excited with pc gaming again.
    Its even better that my son is 11 now and gaming with him is far more enjoyable with him.

    So now the Rift is on the way, my mind is turning towards a sim platform to maximize the VR experience.
    Ive got a lot more reading to do in the forums before I decide what machine to build.

    Congratulations to you all on a vibrant community,
    Thank you to the many contributors.

    Cheers
